June 2025 In the summer of 2025 I found myself kind of all over the place. I spent my birthday in May with my family in Boise Idaho. During that time I was trying to figure out where my next destination would be and the same place kept coming up again and again, Moab, Utah. Friends and family kept suggesting places near there, and even my Bible presented Moab to me on more than one […]

February 27th 2025 There are certain fears that come, I think naturally, when you put your life in God’s hands. We as humans have so much difficulty seeing beyond the world we inhabit. We feel like we have a good grasp on reality and the rules involved in navigating it. We like to feel in control, it feels safe to us. Handing control over to someone else feels unnatural and so we instinctively rebel against

February 18th, 2024 Today I left Bullhead City and started the short trip south to my friend Jesse’s house in Bouse, AZ. There were two roads leading south to Bouse, highway 95 and state route 95, and I chose poorly. The state route runs down along Lake Havasu and through Lake Havasu City into Parker, which is an absolutely gorgeous drive. The highway led straight through the desert. While the highway is, in theory, the

February 13th, 2024 Living the way that I am living out here on the road is sort of a balancing act between planning and faith. You have to be able to find places to stay, places to dump your tanks, and places to refill your water and propane. Much like everyone else on this planet, a primary concern of mine is finances. I am always trying to find places to stay that are low cost

February 2nd, 2025 This spot is awesome. I mean, as awesome as a pad of dirt in the middle of the desert can be. I am just so happy that Keith and I will have a good site for our meetup. It is more than big enough for both of our rigs, it is far enough away from the road to where we can’t hear anyone driving by, and it is about as easy of

January 25th, 2025 I ended up staying in Boise for a little longer than expected. My dog Danny has had a few issues that he has been dealing with pretty much his whole life. He is allergic to pretty much everything, and whether related or not, his eyes itch him terribly at times. There have been several times over the years where I have come home and found that he has been rubbing them for

December 22nd, 2024 After a long drive from Nevada, I am back home in Boise safe and sound. I’m not really crazy about driving through Nevada… the roads are pretty bad. I don’t remember having any issue with them on roadtrips with friends in years passed, but things are totally different in an 18,000 pound RV. You feel every bump and dip in the road and I-93 is one of the worst I have experienced

December 13th, 2024 Before I sank my RV down to the frame in gravel, I had been browsing the web to see what interesting things there were to do in the area of Lake Mead. It ultimately didn’t really matter to me if there were any touristy things to do… that is not what I am typically interested in during my travels. However, I knew the Valley of Fire State Park was nearby, but I

December 3rd, 2024 It is cold here in Boise. Really cold. Thanksgiving with the family was great, but I have a house on wheels for a reason. Time to use it! The plan is to head to Lake Mead in Nevada, just east of Las Vegas, and basically just spend some time alone with God. This is going to be a fairly short trip. Christmas is right around the corner and I want to spend

November 15th, 2024 Winter is coming and the cold season is upon us. God was kind to hold the weather off in Challis just long enough for me to say my goodbyes and make my way back home to Boise. In fact, it snowed the day after I left… the timing could not have been more perfect. I have driven this massive RV around in some pretty nasty weather, but I have yet to be
